Our Executive Recruitment Process

Keller’s mission is to assist employers with their talent acquisition needs, by providing them with skilled executives who have what it takes to lead their companies to success. Our passionate team of NC recruiters have extensive academic and professional qualifications, each as equipped as the next to help you find the perfect candidate for your vacancy.

As a recognized NPAworldwide member, we also take great pride in our ability to stay current on all the latest developments, trends, challenges, and technological advancements in the industry. We achieve this through our commitment to continuous learning.

When you partner with Keller, we tailor our recruitment strategy to your unique hiring needs in order to provide you with the best candidates. However, this customized approach has not always been our default strategy and has been influenced by our collective first-hand experiences working in the industry. One experience in particular was instrumental in the changes that led our agency to where it is today.

When we first began operating as a staffing agency, our team made use of a generic recruitment approach, which was considered the industry standard at the time.

This cookie-cutter approach had yielded sufficient results for the limited client base we had at the time, but its many limitations were quickly revealed when we were approached by a big, influential client to supply them with an executive for a key position. Confident in the strategy we had been using, we went about the recruiting process in good faith and expected good results. Unfortunately, the candidate we provided failed to meet the demands of the position and their personality did not align well with the client’s existing leadership team – a common result for unyielding strategies like the one we had been using. We had failed to properly screen prospective candidates and take company culture into account, which led to the ultimate failure of our placement.

This experience is remembered by our passionate team of recruiters because it became a catalyst for change in our firm. It taught us how limiting a generic strategy can be, and we learned the value of adapting our strategy according to the needs of our clientele.

This customer-forward approach has since helped Keller achieve a long track record of successful placements. Our method, and others like it, have had a significant and permanent influence on the recruiting industry. In this way, Keller has helped to develop a better worldwide understanding of executive search, and our name has become synonymous with premier recruitment solutions in North Carolina.

Our Services

Beyond our tailored recruitment method, our staffing agency also offers a wide variety of solutions to ensure successful hires, optimal employee retention, and more. Our services include post-employment support, assisting in onboarding, employee coaching, leadership development, succession planning, and compensation consulting.

Our Hiring Process

Each project starts with a meeting between our expert North Carolina recruiters and our client. During this meeting, we establish the search parameters, including the required credentials and skills for prospective candidates, experience level, job duties, employment type, and the company culture of the existing team. This ensures that the candidates we provide not only meet the professional requirements to join your business, but also make for a good cultural fit.

With this in mind, we can begin our search for top talent that would fit the bill. We access our worldwide database of executive professionals in order to carefully hand-select job seekers who seem to fit the requirements of our client and are eager to advance their careers.

Once our recruiters have identified a group of executives, they undergo our rigorous screening process. During this screening, our North Carolina recruiters determine how compatible they are with the client’s requirements and culture. To do this, we evaluate their qualifications, skill sets, and work ethic. We also perform advanced personality testing to ensure a good cultural fit, and background checks for criminal records and to verify the authenticity of their resumes.

Those who pass our screening process are placed on a shortlist that can be handed over to the client so that they may perform final interviews.
